Violating Its Charter.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
While you are discussing the management OF
the 14th street railroad in your ably conducted and
fair dealing paper do not, beg OF YOU lose sight
OF the failure OF the company to conform to its
charter by turning its cars In at street instead Of
running them TO Boundary. The cars scere rim tn
Boundary for number OF years Gan admission
that that was the northern terminus and are nnvz
run from Boundary Dug handle pr1nciple) hut
latterly, for the convenience OF the COMPANY and
the mconUentence OF the public the cars have
been turned IN at street, the drivers generally
the cars are run TO Boundary by way OF w street
and the car stables, although en- route horses re
changed and cash boxes are emptied Such q plea
before any court or any committee OF COnpress
and IL made would not be entertained Tor a
moment. Once admit that the cars can be dew.
ated from the charter route and what would pre-

squares, or any number OF squares or the direct
route and while doing SO have its horses shOd or
car painted? The principle is the same.
II Is said that the company was authorized
years ago by the commissioners to reach Bonn
dairy via street. Now this no board Of Com
practically amends charter which the bower ar
tCongres9 that granted the charter alone can
rtghtfully do. OF course the present Commits
sioners are not 1oqna py the Illegal acts Of their
such acts by allowing them to remain in force
The Offense complained OF Is double one one of
omission and one OF commission; Of omission in
failing TO run cars the entire route prescr1bed by
the charter, and OF commission In laying tracks
and running cars on w and Boundary streets for
which there Is no charter, no legal warrant the
best in the country. It became party to con-
tract when it accepted its charter. IL ShOuld he

Written for THE EVENING star:

Wr1tten ZOE HE EVENING STAB:
/.
When Death comes softly from the world above
With hands outstretched to beckon those we love-
We deem him cruel and, with hearts that ache,
And eyes tear blinded, for the dear loves sake
Strive msdly with our trembling strength to keep
Their feet from walking in the shadows deep,
Through which Death leads them a the only way
To reach the Kingdom of Eternal Day.
We cannot see beyond the darkness drear.
So shudder at our empty lives in fear,
And think Gods sunshine never more will break
Through mists of pain and misery we make;
Nor can we hear, dulled are we to sound
The voices in the pulseless air abound,
The slow, soft undertunes Of music dim.
Alike distant chanting of u yesper hymn
And. when the eyes grow dim that once were bright
The tender face grown sharp and cold and WHITE
The silent lips as dead red roses be-
From all the dross of earthly passion free,
Now curving in the rare sweet smile of bliss
Che bitter blossominy Of Deaths cold kiss)-
We wonder il the ruined rhyme of life
Has found new melody with sweetness rife
With wistful faces, and with streaming eyes
Pressed close against the bars Of Paradise.
We wait the glory Of the light within,
Yet try to hold them back who wander in
We deem him cruel, who doth loose the bond
Ihat holds US. shrinking, from the world beyond:
Yet could We see the brightness from below
Our eliIging hands would gladly let them 20.
